[via KELOLAND.COM: News, Weather and Sports for Sioux Falls, South Dakota, Minnesota and Iowa [1]]:
Those who oppose legislation that would make most abortions illegal in South Dakota have indicated that they have collected about 10,000 signatures so far to put the issue on the ballot.
It'll take nearly 17,000 names to qualify for the November ballot. The deadline to turn those signatures over to the secretary of state is June 19th.
Petition carriers were out in force over the weekend in Sioux Falls.
If the necessary signatures are obtained and verified, the proposed law will not go into effect as scheduled on July first, providing voters with the final say on the issue.
